Exposure Analytics inventory management

Exposure Analytics automatically stores asset records in its inventories for an indefinite period of time. Over time, your asset inventories can grow significantly in size. You might want to remove assets that haven't been active in a long time or assets that are no longer accurate. For example, imagine Exposure Analytics detects an IP address on a host. After over a month with no activity, the IP address still lacks any updates. As a result, some of the field values for this asset might not be accurate anymore, so you might want to remove the values assigned to particular fields within the inventory.

To manage the size of your asset inventories, you can modify the retention period for asset records, and you can also modify the retention period for particular field values.
